A Taxi Driver (2017)

In 1980, a foreign journalist hires a down-on-his-luck #taxidriver to take him to #Gwangju, South Korea. They soon arrive to find a city under siege by student protesters and the military. #GwangjuUprising

> The idea of the “#GwangjuCommune” is so popular that the city also gave an honorary citizenship to #GeorgeKatsiaficas, an American academic who has written two books about the impact of #Gwangju on #AsianSocialMovements... The Kwangju Democratization Movement went down as an inspiring moment for human freedom and dignity not only in Korea’s national history but also in the world’s.
